Subject: Keystone X/L is a massive SCAM.
In reply to: BFIH 's message, "Did you forget the pipeline?" on 21:51:33 02/24/12 Fri

Keystone X/L would transport dangerously toxic tar sands from Canada through the US heartland to a US tax-free export zone (thus cutting us out of the money loop, yet expsoing us to dangerous environmental hazards & cleanup responsibilities should the shady pipline malfunction, which their sister project habitually does) in Texas where it would be refined and exported OUT of country, likely & ironically raising US gas prices there in particularly the same heartland, leading to higher costs for food production being passes to US consumers. Not to mention the company that would build it is shady at best, blatantly fudging how many jobs it would bring & having a horrible safety record with an already similar project & a history of shoddy, substandard construction 'standards'. Keystone X/L is the concoction of Big Oil profiteers, who buy off the usual suspect R congressional mouthpieces (including Faux News, Rush, Beck et al) to foist off this scam on WTP (and of course typically try to scapegoat who would actually be victimized by it).

Keystone X/L has very little to offer but pain, misery & suffering for YOU & WTP, but sky-high profits for Big Oil & other sundry scam merchants. These are unsurprisingly the exact same guys who fund the superPACs for Mitt, Rick, Newt & Karl, so who do you think they'll be most beholden to going forward? What concerns do these guys have for WTP, you & your interests? You seriously need to reevaluate & wean yourself off of whatever source of 'news' propaganda you subscribe to ... I'd be embarrassed.

More US supply of gasoline doesn't lead to reduced prices, as our own domestic demand is already less than our supply (production). If we produce more gas it's EXPORTED to no effect on the global market. The barrel price generated worldwide is what drives the price of gas & US production just can't make any dent in that. I'm thinking we should actually be trying to more hold onto our own domestic reserves & use up those of the other current world producers until our own becomes worth more under this scenario.

Then there's the fact that oil speculators are the real driver behind high barrel prices:

Dodd-Frank contains regulatory provisions to reign in such profiteering speculation by Wall Street mega-capitalists, but guess who (hint: your bought & paid for reptilican heroes) continues to legislatively restrict & obstruct & underfund the implementation of same these measures? Means to mitigate are ALREADY ON THE BOOKS but they're being OBSTRUCTED!!

If you don't like my sources here just search for "oil speculators & high gas, regulations, XL pipeline scam, what's the real reason for high gas prices", etc & get back to me.
